Abstract

An approach to reduce the effect of problems related to inter-node communication in Distributed Problem Solvers (DPS) is presented for the special case of real-time control of Computer Integrated Manufacturing Systems (CIMS). Some techniques based on the distribution of control and VLSI implementations of control Petri nets were presented in (DEVAPRIYA, 91c; 92a). The present paper discusses the necessity for furnishing the system with a panoplie of diverse communication techniques and letting the system learn to use the best technique for a given situation. This permits a high degree of flexibility of the system without sacrificing unduely on communication efficiency while avoiding bottleneck situations in the DPS network.
